NEEDLE FOB HAND-EMBROIDERY AND BiMILAR'WORK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 6, 1919.

Application flled April 29, 1919. Serial No. 293.545.

To all whom it may r-onl'rrn Be it known that we. (li-zonor: V. Pam: andCONRAD T. Nnrrznn,ritizem ol' the l'nlled States, residing at Dallas. inthe county of Dallas and Slate of Texas. have invented certain new anduseful lnnn'ovenients HI Needles for liillltl-lilllllltlltltl andSimilar Work, of which the follmving is a specification.

Our invention relates to lllllll'tH'tlllt'lliH in needles and referspartieularli todhut class of hand needles used for embronlering orornamental needlework and to the novel arrangeinent and eonstruetion ol"sllelr a needle.

It is the principal n ljttlui our invention to provide a needle of thistype \\l|l('ll is peculiarly adapted to eniln-oulery, ornamental needlework. ele.,on account of the rapidity and ease with which sueh work canbe accomplished. I I

Another object of our invention hes in the simplicity of the needle andits llNXPtllHH'e manufacture.

Our invention will be more fully under- 'zfi stood from the followingdescription taken 7 in connection with the aeromprmying draw informingpart hereof, lll whichi ure 1 is a side elevational view of aneed e embodying our invention.

2 is a similar View with the gage of the needle removed.

Fig; 3 is a side elevational view of the 8' ig. 4 is a cross sectionalview taken on line 44 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a top view of the needle, and

. ig. 6 is a vertical seetiona] new, art of the needle broken away,showing tho'nnunn-r of operation. I

' 0 Referring to the drawings, the body 1 of the needle is constructedpreferably of metal and is tubular or hollow, the portion constitutinthe handle extending outwardly from the ollow portion into flanges 2-2and 4 the ends 3'3 of the flanges are bent at right angles to the bodyof the needle. B v re erence'to Fig. 4 of the drawings it Will be notedthat the sides or flam es 22 do not come entirelv together, but leave aslit or o ening 4 for the threadinlg or passage of t 7 thread 5 into thechanne G of the needle.

The manner of threadin the needle is illustrated in Fig. 2, the t andbeing passed throu h the eye 7 and stretched?! pulled slight y to forceit into the channel 6.

member having Arranged to slide over the body 1 of the needle is aeoinplemenlal piece. or gage 8. This gage has flanges 1 9'similar to theflanges '.'-2 on the body of the needle. and the gage is similarlychanneled or slit to allow of the passage. of the thread 5. A smallprojection 10 formed in one piece with the gage 8 is adapted to registerwith the notches 11 on the lips 33 of the flanges 22.

The forward end of this gage is flared ontwardly as at 12 so that as theneedle is pushed through the cloth 13 the. end 12 of the gage will allowthe point of the needle to advance in the cloth only.so far, dependingupon'n'hieh of the notches 11 is regis tered with projeetion 10.

The operation of the needle is simple. It is threaded in the mannerexplained above and the point pushed through the cloth on the design tobe worked and the needle withdrawn. When the needle is pulled back aloop is formed. This loop can be shortened or lengthened as desired, itbeing held in place by the texture of the cloth. The lengtlu-ningorshortening of the loop ives the design such as flowers, ettz, a raiser apearanee on the cloth opposite the needle. the design toward the needlebeing more or less flat. These loops can be trimmed otl' giving theFrench chenille effect. and when the 100) is short and left uncut theFrench knot etleet is obtained. A short loop will also give the effectof head work.

l-laving thus described the nature and objects of our invent ion, whatwe claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. A needlefor hand embroidery and the like, comprising a tubular body pointed atne end and open at one body having a flange projecting laterallytherefrom at with a series of notches, and a tubular gage.

an opening extending longitudinally thereof, said gage member beingslidable on the tubular body of the. needle and adapted to engage thenotches of the tubular body.

2. A needlefor hand embroidery and the in the flange like, comprising atubular body inted at one end and open at one side, said tubular bodyhaving a flange projectin laterally therefrom a at side, said tubularsaid opening and provided provided with a projecting part stud open anrovided with a sons of notches, iiiifi a tubular gage lit) member havingan opening extending longitudinally thereof with spaced longitudinalflanges projecting therefrom at said opening, said last mentionedflanges being disposed -at opposite sides of the lateral flange of thebody, and one of saidflanges of the gage fitting against one side of theflange of the tubular body, and having a part projecting above theflange of the tnnilar body and adapted to engage the notches therein.

3. A device, for hand embroidery and the like, comprising a tubular bodyeonstitnting a needle and handle. the tubular body being open along oneside substantially throngln out its length and having oppositelydisposed flanges on the handle and projecting laterally therefrom atsaid opening, said flanges serving as a guide for entering the threadinto the longitudinal opening of the tubular body.

4. A needle for hand embroidery and the like, comprising a tubular bodypointed at one end. the tnlnilar body being open al ng one side andhaving spared oppositely disposed flanges projecting from the body atsaid opening, said flanges having outer marginal portions bentontn'ardlyainl a tubular gage member having, an opening extendinglongitudinally thereof and spaced flanges projecting laterally from thesame at the said opening, the guard being slidable on the tubular bodywith the flanges of the guard engaging the outer face of opposite.flanges of the. body beneath the outwardly bent outer marginal portionsof the flanges of the body, the outwardly bent marginal portions of oneof the flanges of the body being provided with a series of notches, andone flange of the gage member being provided with a part projectingabove the outwardly bent marginal portions of the flanges of the tubularbody and adapted to engage the notches in said ont\\'ardly bent marginalportion.

.7. A needle for hand embroidery and the like, comprising a tubularmetal body pointed at one end and opetrat' one side, said body having aflange projecting laterally therefrom at said opening. and a tubularsheet metal gage member having an opening extending longitudinallythereof and slidable on the tubular needle body, said gage memher beingprovided with an outwardly flared lower end portion to engage the work.

ti. needle for hand embroidery and the like, comprising a tubular bodypointed at one end, the ln ailar body being open at one side and havingoppositely disposed flanges projecting lateral] from the body at saidopening, and a tn ular age member open along one side and slide le onthe tubular body.

T. A needle for hand embroidery and the like, romprisin a tubular bodypointed at one end. the to nilar may being open at one side and having aflange projecting laterally therefrom at said opening, the flange beingprovided with a series of notches, and a. gage member opcn'along oneside and slid able on the tubular body, said gage member being providedwith a part adapted to engage the notches in the said flange.

8. needle for hand embroidery and the like. formed from a piece of sheetmetal bent upon itself to provide a main tubular thread receiving partand a trough like part at one side thereof.

El. needle for hand embroidery and the like. eomprising a tubular bodypointed at one end, the tubular body being open at one side and having aflange projecting laterally therefrom at the said opening, and a tubulargage member open along one side and slidable on the tubular needle body,one of said parts being provided with a series of notches and the otherpart provided with a projection adapted to engage the notches of thelirst mentioned part.

10. needle for hand embroidery and the like. formed from a piece ofsheet metal folded upon itself to provide a main tubular threadreceiving body part. open at one side and provided with flangesextending laterally therefrom at said opening, in combination with agage foiined from a piece of .sheet metal and having a tubular part openat one side and with flanges projecting latirally therefrom at theopening, the gage being slidable on the first mentioned art.

In testimony whereof we have signedhmr names to this specification.
